China Express Restaurant — Restaurant in Franklin

We called in our order. Boy am I glad that I asked about payment methods, because the "cash only" policy is outdated.

The place: looks very outdated and dirty. I would be shocked if they passed health inspection, but not my circus or my monkeys. One of the tables is broken. The person who operates the phone and is at the counter seems really impersonal/unprofessional with how he talks to people. We were given a 15 min estimate for our food and it ended up taking close to three times that amount of time to get our food.

We ordered the General Tso's Chicken and Sesame Chicken. They both tasted like they were doused with the same exact sauce, only they threw a few sesame seeds on the sesame chicken. No spice whatsoever appeared to be added to the General Tso's Chicken so I spiced it up when I got home. Their sweet and sour sauce for crab rangoons tastes authentic and made from scratch, though.

The best orange chicken around. When I first moved back to Franklin, there were three Chinese restaurants in Franklin and none of them were Panda Express... I love orange chicken! However, don't worry though. If you're in Franklin and you are an orange chicken fan as well, China Express has the best orange chicken in the Franklin area. The portion size and the cost are about the same as Panda Express. Heck, I think you get more orange chicken for your money at China Express! Did I mention money? Yes, you must have money in your hand, pocket, or wallet, as this business does not take plastic. It helps to keep the costs down! So run by the ATM, grab a $20.00 bill and head to China Express for some orange chicken and...
